How to automatically loop entire PPT AFTER the Title Slide?


Question
Hi, I have a presentation Thursday in which I want the title slide to sit there for about 5 minutes. Then I want to
click once, and have the rest of the slides loop through for an hour... I know how to auto advance slides every
custom number of seconds, but how do I get the last slide to automatically loop back to Slide 2 and then so
forth and so on, skipping slide 1? Automatic being the key word, I will be busy not paying attention and cannot
click any hidden hyperlinks etc. I'd rather not make the file 300 MB by copying and pasting the same 24 slides
over and over again either, to create an hours worth, if possible.

How do you get along with VBA? This code hides the first slide after it is shown, so it does not come up

again when the show loops. Click the "Developer" tab, the "Visual Basic" icon, and insert a ne module.
Copy/paste the code. To start the presentation, use the macro "ResetAndRun". I have guessed at the
timing, change as necessary. And Test!

Option Explicit
Public LoopCheck As String

Sub ResetAndRun()
Dim s As Slide
LoopCheck = "" ' initialize
' unhide first slide
ActivePresentation.Slides(1).SlideShowTransition.Hidden = msoFalse
' set all slides to 15 second timing, fix first slide later
For Each s In ActivePresentation.Slides
s.SlideShowTransition.AdvanceOnClick = msoTrue ' optional
s.SlideShowTransition.AdvanceOnTime = msoTrue
s.SlideShowTransition.AdvanceTime = 15 ' optional, remove or change
Next
' set first slide to 5 minutes (300 seconds)
ActivePresentation.Slides(1).SlideShowTransition.AdvanceTime = 300
' slideshow setttings
With ActivePresentation.SlideShowSettings
.LoopUntilStopped = msoTrue
.ShowType = ppShowTypeKiosk
.RangeType = ppShowAll
.Run
End With
End Sub

Sub OnSlideShowPageChange(ByVal SSW As SlideShowWindow)


If SSW.View.CurrentShowPosition = 2 Then ' now showing second slide
If LoopCheck <> "OK" Then ' first time
ActivePresentation.Slides(1).SlideShowTransition.Hidden = msoTrue
LoopCheck = "OK"
End If
End If
End Sub

Thank you! I'll give ya an upvote. I am savvy but haven't really messed with Macros. Given that1 it's for

Appreciated.

I found another solution ;) Go to the "Slide show" tab, "custom slide show", "new", and voilá!

I am not sure how this would work? Is there a way to hit play on slide one, and then have the final
slide automatically open this custom show which begins with slide 2?

Here you wouldn't be able to have it loop automatically, but to set it up manually that the slides
repeat themselves. Kind of like you mentioned, duplicating the slides, but different. If it works with
vba, great! Just wanted to share this method which I found by accident, and remembered your
question.
